According to the invention, engaging means (90, 88) cooperating with the separating wall (30) and the insertion tab (88) are automatically engaged with one another during insertion of the insertion tab (88) into the interior space (32) during closure of the closing flap (54) and then hold the flap (54) firmly closed.

Description

The invention relates to a carton according to the preamble of claim 1 and in particular to such a carton, which fold flat for transport or storage and can be erected for use. Specifically, the invention relates to a frangible carton serving as packaging for nachos and at least one dip or sauce dish.

Folding cartons having two first and two second outer boundary walls each spaced in pairs from each other at opposite first and second sides of the carton, and having at least one closure flap which, in a closed condition, defines an interior bounded by the outer bounding walls on a third side of the carton Folding box closes are well known. In general, the closure flap is pivotally connected to one of the boundary walls along a fold line and provided on the other side with a tuck, which can be inserted in the vicinity of the opposite boundary wall in the interior of the carton to keep the flap closed.

To prevent unwanted opening of the flap, there are several possibilities. A known possibility is to provide the two second boundary walls each with a protruding tab which are folded before closing the shutter from opposite sides under the latter and are provided at their side facing away from the flap edge edges with small projections, which after the closure of the closure flap in respective opposite incisions at the opposite ends of a hooked between the tuck and the flap folding line hook. This type of locking is almost invisible, so it does not affect the aesthetic appearance of the carton. However, if the contents of the carton have a certain weight and press on the downwardly facing closure flap from the inside, it may happen that the projections unintentionally emerge from the cuts and the closure flap opens, whereby the contents fall out of the folding box.

Another possibility is to secure the closure flap with an additional locking tab which is punched out of the boundary wall adjacent to the insertion tab and pivotally connected to this boundary wall. After closing the shutter, the locking tab may be partially inserted into a slot opening of the shutter to secure it. A disadvantage is considered in this solution that on the one hand, the locking tab affects the aesthetic appearance of the carton and that after closing the flap with the insertion of the locking tab in the slot opening an additional step is required.

Folding boxes, which also have an inner partition in addition to at least one flap, are for example from US 3,186,622 A , of the US 2,569,018 and the DE 44 08 680 A1 known, of which the latter two reveal a carton of the type mentioned.

Folding boxes of this type can be used, for example, as packaging for nachos or nacho chips, which are intended for consumption in cinemas or at events together with one or more dips or sauces. Conveniently, these packages are delivered and stored in a flat collapsed condition to be erected prior to sale and after filling with the nachos or nacho chips and one or two dip or sauce bowls by closing the shutter or one of the two Close flaps. The upper boundary wall of these packages has a frangible portion so that the nachos and dip or sauce bowls can be removed by the customer without reopening the or closure flap. Further, the upper boundary wall can be provided with one or two punched-out openings for inserting the dip or sauce bowls, so that the latter need not be held during consumption. The partition serves together with one of the two second outer boundary walls to support the upper boundary wall on both sides of the punched-out openings, so that the dip or sauce bowls used in the openings maintain their horizontal orientation when immersing the nachos in the dip or sauce and can not slip or yield. In addition, the partition divides the interior into two compartments, one of which receives the nachos or nacho chips and the dip or sauce dish and surrounds the nachos or Nacho chips when consumed, and the other of which serves as a waste container for holding Abziehdeckeln the dip or sauce bowls can serve.

Such packages are made of cardboard, from which suitable blanks punched and then the folding boxes are made by folding and gluing the blanks.

Proceeding from this, the present invention seeks to provide a carton of the type mentioned, in particular for use as Nacho packaging, to improve to the effect that the at least one flap can be locked securely without affecting the aesthetic appearance of the carton and without an additional step except the insertion of the tuck in its closed position.

This object is achieved by cooperating engagement means on the partition and on the tuck, which automatically engage each other during insertion of the tuck in the interior during the closing of the flap and then firmly hold the flap in the closed state.

The invention is based on the idea to lock the closure flap during the insertion of the tuck into the interior by the engagement of the cooperating engagement means on the partition wall and the tuck automatically with the inner partition. In other words, the inner partition is not only used to stabilize the erected carton and / or for subdividing the interior, but also for holding or locking the flap in the closed position, so that the flap does not unintentionally by one of the content their inner force can open.

Preferably, the cooperating engagement means are disposed on the bulkhead and on the push-in tab such that the closure flap is not locked or held until it has been moved to the fully closed position.

A further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the cooperating engagement means comprise an opening made in the insertion tab and an also produced during punching of the blank hook-shaped projection on the partition, which when inserting the tuck into the interior of the carton itself penetrates into the opening of the tuck and hooked in this. In this way, the opening and the hook-shaped projection can be punched out in the manufacture of folding carton blanks.

Suitably, the length of the opening in the insertion direction of the tuck is greater than the dimensions of the projection in the same direction, so that it can enter completely into the opening. Advantageously, the projection tapers counter to a direction of movement of the insertion tab, in which this moves when entering the hook-shaped projection in the opening of the tuck. This also facilitates automatic locking of the closure flap when closing it.

Advantageously, the hook-shaped projection protrudes into a recess which is at least partially punched out of the dividing wall and open towards the closure flap, which completely accommodates the insertion tab when the closure flap is closed, wherein the hook-shaped projection protrudes from one side into the opening of the insertion tab. The recess in the dividing wall may be bounded along its entire circumference by the dividing wall, but is preferably delimited along a part of its circumference by that of the two first outer boundary walls which is adjacent to the insertion tab.

In order to facilitate the insertion of the tuck in the interior or in the open towards the flap recess, provides a further preferred embodiment of the invention that the recess on its side facing the flap on a ramp for the direction of movement in the leading edge of the tuck is limited is and / or tapers in the direction of movement of the Einstecklasche to direct them into the interior or in the recess and over the hook-shaped projection away.

Beyond the hook-shaped projection, the recess expediently expands again, so that the insertion tab inserted completely into the interior of the folding box can be pivoted to a limited extent around a fold line arranged between the insertion tab and the rest of the closure flap, in order to remove the cooperating engagement means as required to disengage from each other.

However, this is not necessary if the closure flap is to remain permanently closed, as for example in the previously described Nacho packages, the contents of which can be removed after the rupture of the frangible part of the upper boundary wall by the removal opening formed thereby.

In order to facilitate the penetration of the hook-shaped projection into the opening of the tuck, the recess in the insertion direction of the tuck beyond the hook-shaped projection of at least one obliquely inclined with respect to the insertion edge edge is limited, which the leading edge of the tuck behind the projection in the direction of the projection deflects, that this moves by itself into the opening of the tuck. The obliquely inclined edge or margins also ensure that the tuck does not back into itself Move position in which the hook-shaped projection is disengaged from the opening.

In order to ensure a secure hooking of the hook-shaped projection in the opening, the projection on its side facing away from the closure flap side may expediently also be delimited by a peripheral edge which is inclined at an acute angle with respect to a plane of the closed closure flap. Since the closed closure flap is under a certain tension as a result of deformation during closing, the edge of the opening adjacent to the projection is pulled against this peripheral edge. The inclination of the peripheral edge then also contributes to the fact that the tuck can not move back by itself to a position in which the hook-shaped projection is disengaged from the opening.

To make the stability of the cooperating engagement means as large as possible, on the one hand, the hook-shaped projection should be as wide as possible and, on the other hand, the distance of the opening from the free front edge of the insertion tab should be as large as possible. In order to achieve this, the opening advantageously extends to a fold line arranged between the push-in tab and the rest of the closure flap, or at least to the immediate vicinity of this fold line.

In order to reduce the space required during transport or in the storage of the empty carton as much as possible, the carton can preferably be folded into a flat state in which all the boundary walls, the partition and the at least one flap are generally aligned parallel to each other and the cooperating Engagement means are laterally offset with respect to each other.

Advantageously, the carton according to the invention consists of a single blank, which makes their production cheaper. The side opposite the flap of the carton may advantageously be provided with an automatic floor, which automatically closes the interior of this side when erecting the carton. Alternatively, there may be provided a further closure flap. In the latter case cooperating engagement means on the partition wall and on the insertion tab can also be present on this side, which automatically engage with each other during the insertion of the insertion tab into the interior and then securely hold the closure flap in the closed state. However, it is also possible to provide the cooperating engagement means on the partition and on the tuck on only one side of the carton.

The carton according to the invention can be used with particular advantage as a rupturable packaging for nachos or nacho chips and at least one dip or sauce dish, since in such packaging, the at least one flap after closing no longer needs to be opened.

The folding box shown in the drawing 10 forms a convenient disposable tear-away package for nachos or nacho chips as well as two dip or sauce bowls (not shown) intended for consumption in cinemas or at events.

The carton 10 consists of a single cut 12 made of cardboard, as in 10 shown. The carton 10 Can be folded flat for transport and storage, as in 12 and is erected before use to fill with a bag Nachos or Nacho chips and the two dip or sauce bowls. After the sale of the filled carton 10 This is torn open at the top by the customer before consumption to remove the dip or sauce bowls and in two in the top of the carton 10 use recessed openings. After opening the bag with the nachos or Nacho chips, the latter can either be taken out of the bag for consumption or the bag into the opened carton 10 be emptied to remove the nachos or Nacho chips then individually by hand, each dipping into one of the opened dip or sauce bowls and then to eat.

As in 1 and 2 presented, owns the folding box 10 in the erected state a cuboid shape. The carton 10 consists essentially of two opposing parallel and congruent first outer boundary walls 16 . 18 , which are the broad sides of the carton 10 form, two opposite parallel and congruent second outer boundary walls 20 . 22 , which are two narrow sides of the carton 10 form and perpendicular to the first outer boundary walls 16 . 18 are aligned, two third outer boundary walls 24 . 26 , which the other two narrow sides of the folding box 10 form and perpendicular to the first and second outer boundary walls 16 . 18 . 20 . 22 are aligned, and an inner partition 30 parallel to the two second outer boundary walls 20 . 22 and perpendicular to the two third outer boundary walls 24, 26 and is located between the two first outer boundary walls 16 . 18 extends.

The boundary walls 16 . 18 . 20 . 22 . 24 . 26 limit an interior 32 the partition 30 in two compartments 34 . 36 divided. The compartment 34 serves to hold the bag with nachos or Nacho chips as well as the two dip or sauce bowls and can be used when consumed as a shell for nachos or Nacho chips. The compartment 36 serves as a waste container for the removable closure lid of the dip or sauce bowls.

One of the first two outer boundary walls 16 . 18 In use, forms the top of the carton 10 , This boundary wall 16 has one through a perforation line 38 from the rest of the boundary wall 16 separate tear-open part 40 on, which is just over half of the boundary wall 16 takes and opening the carton 10 tearing open. The boundary wall 16 is also with three openings 42 , 44, 46, one of which 42 is oval-shaped and as a finger opening for detecting and tearing the tear-open 40 serves. Two more openings 44 . 46 are round and serve to insert the dip or sauce bowls. The two round openings 44 . 46 are each surrounded by eight radial cuts and a circular outer fold line. The sipes and the fold line define together with the inner edge of the openings 44 . 46 eight circular ring segments, the insertion of the dip or sauce bowls along the fold line down into the second compartment 36 be bent into it. There is another optional opening in the drawing 48 shown for inserting the Abziehdeckel the dip or sauce bowls in the second compartment 36 can serve.

The other first outer boundary wall 18 forms the bottom of the carton 10 and has no openings. The two second outer boundary walls 20 . 22 connect two opposite edges of the two first outer boundary walls 16 . 18 in pairs.

From the two third outer boundary walls 24 . 26 is the 24 as an automatic ground 50 ( 1 ) formed when erecting the carton 10 automatically closes and the interior 32 closes on this page. The automatic floor 50 has a known structure, as shown in the drawing, and therefore need not be described in detail.

The opposite third outer boundary wall 26 is as a flap 54 educated ( 2 ) and pivotable with the first outer boundary wall 18 connected to the bottom of the carton 10 forms. Between this boundary wall 18 and the flap 54 is a fold line 56 arranged around which the shutter 54 in relation to the wall 18 is pivotable. The flap 54 is with a tuck 58 provided over the entire Width of the flap 54 extends. The tuck 58 is along a to the fold line 56 parallel fold line 60 with the rest of the flap 54 connected and will when closing the flap 54 in the interior 32 introduced.

To avoid being in the interior 32 inserted tuck 58 the insertion of a dip or sauce dish in the adjacent opening 44 hampered, that is to the fold lines 56 . 60 parallel free edge 62 the tuck 58 opposite the opening 44 with a flat circular segment-shaped indentation 63 Mistake. To insert the tuck 58 in the interior 32 to facilitate, are the opposite lateral ends of the tuck 58 rounded so that the tuck 58 tapered towards the edge.

How best in 6 shown, corresponds to the height of the inner partition 30 the height of the two second outer boundary walls 20 . 22 , As in 6 and 11 shown, is the inner partition wall 30 between the oval opening 42 and the other openings 44 . 46 . 48 fixed to the boundary wall 16 connected. For this purpose, the partition wall 30 with one at one of the ends of the blank 12 arranged narrow protruding adhesive flap 64 provided on the inside of the boundary wall 16 is glued.

How best in 11 shown is the partition wall 30 with the rest of the blank 12 or with the boundary wall through two sections 68 . 70 of the blank 12 connected, of which to the partition 30 adjacent first section 68 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the blank 12 one of the width of the second compartment 36 has corresponding width and at the bottom of the second compartment 36 abuts against the inside of the boundary wall 18, which the underside of the carton 10 forms. The to the boundary wall 16 adjacent second section 70 has in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the blank 12 one of the height of the boundary walls 20 . 22 corresponding width and lies against the inside of the boundary wall 22 on which the adjacent narrow side of the carton 10 forms. The inside of this boundary wall 22 is at its upper end along a narrow strip 69 glued to the second section 70.

Between the glue flap 65 and the partition 30 , the partition wall 30 and the first section 68 as well as between the second section 70 and the boundary wall 16 are fold lines 72 arranged, which pivoting the inner partition 30 in relation to the two boundary walls 16 . 18 allow, as in 7 shown. Also between the first and the second section 68 . 70 and between the respective adjacent boundary walls 16 . 20 ; 20 . 18 ; 18 . 22 there are fold lines 72 , All fold lines 72 are parallel to each other.

By the described arrangement, the partition wall is directed 30 when erecting the carton 10 automatically parallel to the two boundary walls 20 . 22 while they are folding the carton 10 parallel to the two boundary walls 16 . 18 aligns. In the folded state of the folding box 10 , as in 12 shown are also the two boundary walls 20 . 22 , all parts of the automatic floor 50 as well as the flap 54 with push-in tab 58 parallel to the boundary walls 16 . 18 aligned.

To make sure the dividing wall 30 when erecting the carton 10 closing the automatic floor 50 not hindered, is a triangular part 74 the partition 30 at the to the automatic floor 50 adjacent front end along an oblique fold line 76 so with the rest of the partition 30 connected, that it can avoid an adjacent part of the automatic floor 50, when this when erecting the carton 10 in relation to the partition 30 moves laterally. How to get out 11 can see, is the partition 30 also shorter on this side, so they are not quite up to a straight fold line 77 between the boundary walls 16 . 18 and the automatic floor 50 extends while on the opposite side to the fold line 56 enough.

To avoid having the folded carton 10 in the overlapping area of the automatic floor 50 thicker than desired, point the two sections 68 . 70 transverse to the longitudinal axis of the blank 12 smaller dimensions than the boundary walls 16, 18, 20, 22, so that there at the bottom of the compartment 36 and on the inside of the boundary wall 22 no further, from the sections 68 . 70 formed cardboard layer is present.

How best in the 10 to 12 is shown, the fold line 56 between the tuck 58 and the rest of the flap 54 at its two ends with two short cuts 78 Mistake. Next to the flap 54 are at the two boundary walls 20 . 22 opposite protruding tabs 80 . 82 attached before closing the flap 54 from opposite sides before the flap 54 adjacent opening of the interior 32 are pivoted. The two tabs 80 . 82 are in a known manner with small lateral projections 84 provided when closing the flap 54 enter the slots 78 and the flap 54 to hold in the closed position.

However, if the carton 10 held by the customer so that the flap 54 points down and the entire weight of Nachos or nacho chips and the two dip or sauce bowls on the inside of the flap 54 it may happen that both projections 84 from the associated incisions 78 escape. This has the consequence that the flap 54 opens and the contents of the carton 10 out of this falls to the ground.

To avoid this, the tuck 58 and one of the flap 54 opposite boundary edge 86 the partition 30 provided with cooperating engagement means when inserting the tuck 58 in the interior 32 during the closing of the flap 54 automatically engage with each other and the flap 54 then firmly hold in closed position.

How best in the 3 . 9a to 9d and 10 to 12 represented, the engagement means of the tuck exist 58 from one of the tuck 58 punched opening 88 with a U-shaped opening cross-section that goes from a straight, along the fold line 56 extending edge portion and a U-shaped edge portion is limited, the legs of which are up to the fold line 56 extend and its bent yoke at a distance from the fold line 56 is arranged.

How best in the 8th and 9a to 9d illustrated, the engagement means comprise the partition wall 30 a hook-shaped projection 90 when closing the flap 54 automatically in the opening 88 the tuck 58 penetrates and thereby the shutter 54 holds in the closed position.

The hook-shaped projection 90 is an integral part of the partition 30 which is in the plane of the partition 30 in one when punching the blank 12 from the partition 30 punched out, to the flap 54 open recess 92 sticks out to the tuck 58 with closed flap 54 receives.

How best in 8th represented is the recess 92 near the boundary wall 16 so in the boundary edge 86 the partition 30 arranged that they partially from the partition 30 and partly from the boundary wall 16 is limited. At his the flap 54 facing side is the in the recess 92 projecting hook-shaped projection 90 from an edge 94 limited in relation to the boundary wall 16 obliquely inclined and together with this in the direction of movement of the tuck 58 when inserted into the interior 32 a tapered wedge-shaped part of the recess 92 limited. The sloping edge 94 used when closing the flap 54 as a ramp for the leading edge 96 the tuck 58 to this over the projection 90 to steer away, as in 9a shown.

To the adjacent boundary wall 16 towards the hook-shaped projection 90 from a top edge 98 limited, which is generally parallel to the boundary wall 16 aligned and located at a small distance from this, so that when closing the flap 54 the front edge 96 the tuck 58 automatically between the top edge 98 and the boundary wall 16 moved through, as in 9b shown.

Beyond the ledge 90 becomes the recess 92 to the boundary wall 16 out of two consecutively arranged edges 100 . 102 bounded with the boundary wall 16 include an increasingly larger acute angle. The two edges 100 . 102 serve to the front edge 96 the tuck 58 after passing the projection 90 from the boundary wall 16 deflect away, so that the projection 90 progressively into the opening 88 moved in, as in 9c shown.

When the tuck 58 completely in the interior 32 the carton 10 is located as in 9d represented, it is from the oblique edge 102 held in a position in which the hook-shaped projection 90 through the opening 88 in the tuck 58 sticks out and through from the inside on the flap 54 applied force can not be disengaged from the opening 88.

On his from the flap 54 opposite side is the projection 90 from a sloping edge 104 bounded in the same direction as the sloping edge 94 inclined, but at a steeper angle of inclination. This also contributes to the tuck 58 from the lead 90 is held, if from the inside a force on the flap 54 acts.

In the folded state of the folding box 10 , as in 12 shown are the boundary walls 16 . 18 . 20 . 22 . 24 , 26 and the partition 30 generally aligned parallel to each other and lie flat on top of each other. In this state, the cooperating engagement means 88 . 90 laterally offset from each other.
